| Obverse description | King Zeionises depicted in Parthian attire, mounted on horseback moving to the right, holding a whip in his raised hand. A circular Greek legend surrounds the equestrian figure, identifying the ruler as son of Manigola and satrap. A Buddhist triratana symbol (the Three Jewels) appears in the right field, reflecting the syncretic religious milieu of the Indo-Scythian realm. The overall style is characteristic of the Hellenistic-influenced coinage of the Northern Satraps. |
